I’d just like to say I’m not really a fan of the idea of slaying/hurting a lion (which was the original post title/theme) so that’s why I tweaked the post title a bit, plus it sounds more badass this way in my opinion.

As usual these are in no particular order.

10.) The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke Release Date: October 2nd, 2018

While I haven’t been the biggest fan of Tucholke’s books in the past I do admit her writing is gorgeous and the idea of a feminist retelling of “Beowulf” has me very excited!

9.) Realm of Ruins (The Nissera Chronicles #2) by Hannah West Release Date: October 2nd, 2018

I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS FOREVER! I absolutely adored the very underrated “Kingdom of Ash and Briars” and I’m finally getting a sequel!!!!!! This one will weave in retellings of “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid” as well, so freaking pumped!

8.) What The Woods Keep by Katya de Becerra Release Date: September 18th, 2018

This one sounds so, so good! It’s about a girl who inherits her childhood home on the condition she uncovers its dark secrets. It sounds like it has a lot going on in a good way: her mother’s disappearance a decade ago, her father’s theories on a lost race of supernatural beings, and the main character’s dark dreams of rituals performed in the woods.

Great list for this week! Both Vengeful and The Ladies Guide to Petticoats and Piracy made it on my list this week as well. I feel like I’ve been waiting for Vengeful since even before it was announced (plus it’s by V.E. Schwab, what more so I need to add a book to my TBR list right?) and I LOVED The Gentleman’s Guide so I can’t wait for more from Mackenzi Lee and more from Felicity as well. 🙂
